This will be exciting as it means we're finally going forward in time again with all sorts of new possibilities.

Like Discovery this will be exclusive to CBS All Access but one can hope that outside the USA and Canada it will be available on +Netflix for the rest of us.

I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised with this first season. Given that on paper this looked like something aimed at younger audiences, this turned out to not be the case at all. In terms of character development it was quite interesting to see the main protagonists rise, fall and get back up again. There were a few holes here and there but overall I did enjoy it and I am looking forward to season 2, which will likely not be for another year or so, the joys of 10-episodes seasons.

The reason was a series of very crude tweets Gunn posted back in 2009 which have somehow resurfaced and provoked enough outrage for him to be fired.

I don't know him personally but I have been really saddened at this very harsh decision. Regardless of the impact it will have on the next Guardians movie, this was very much uncalled for. Yes what he tweeted was rude, offensive and very stupid but that doesn't warrant such a decision, all the more so given how long ago it was.

I can think of one person in particular who daily tweets rude, stupid and offensive messages and yet he is still allowed to rule the most powerful nation on earth. Gunn has owned to his mistakes and posted an explanation here: https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1020154776539967489 . I saw people essentially not giving him the benefit of the doubt because "he was in his 40s" when the tweets were made and should have known the difference between right and wrong (again, looking towards the white house here folks). His brother Sean has posted a series of tweets highlighting thoughts similar to mine far better than I could here: https://twitter.com/seangunn/status/1020786565344382978

As someone who is still looking for an artistic voice while already in my 40s, I can emphatise quite strongly. Yes I probably wouldn't go towards the dark humour route he went to at the time but that's not really the point, sometimes art require going beyond the borders of morality, just look at, I dunno, Lord Byron, Picasso, heck even Steven King seems quite keen to kill children in his books, that didn't phase his publisher…

So I don't expect some of you to emphatise but if you do, there's a petition that's been signed by over 100,000 people and is growing fast you may be interested in signing.

(comments closed, if you feel strongly about it one way, go sign the petition, if you swing the other way, I can only hope you see it from his perspective some day)

Romijin is well known for playing Mystique in the first couple of X-Men movies. In the Star Trek universe, "Number One" also known as Commander Una, is Captain's Pike first officer and in the original pilot episode for TOS she was played by Majel Roddenberry (then Barrett) herself.

Rebecca Romijn on Twitter
“Just call me “Number One!” Honored to play such an iconic character in #StarTrek Canon originally played by the First Lady of Star Trek, Majel Barrett-Roddeberry! #StarTrekDiscovery”

And lurking in the shadows of the whole season's plot line apparently is Spock. Whether we'll see him or not remains to be seen, but if they do whoever will play him is sure to cause a bit of a stir given we're not in the Kelvin timeline and Leonard Nimoy is kinda hard to replace.

Things are about to get serious in this shop

My new Evolution table saw arrived yesterday. It’s a contractor saw so folds nicely in a corner when not in use. I might even be able to get away with not using a mitre saw as this has a few neat cross cutting features. At least we’ll see how I get on with it alone for the first few projects.

I spent the whole evening putting together my new table saw. Oh yeah, things are getting real now, I'll be able to make some dust in all sorts of ways.

Not sure I'll use them much but they're interesting finds for sure.

My workshop came with a bunch of abandoned old tools, mostly files and hammers but also a cute little vice, some sort of wench system and an old jack.

It's everything we could have wished for (well almost) in that it's 5 lions that turn into one giant mech and looks the part. I think I would have preferred a design closer to the modern version than the original show but it's lego and as such can be amended.

How the articulations work is hard to tell at this stage and, though it doesn't bother me, some have made the point that it could have come with a set of minifigs (despite not being to scale).

I just hope it will be really sturdy in robot form but we shall see when it's in our hands. My daughter and I will be glad to take this home.

Voltron… at last!
It seems like ages ago that it was announced that len_d69’s Voltron – Defender of the Universe project would become an Ideas set, and that’s because it was!

I mean, I know a VW beetle is a little smaller than a Camaro but is it that much smaller or has Michael Bay made his Transformers a lot bigger than they would otherwise have been when in robot form?
